Just 45 minutes to Divide and south on Hwy 67 you’ll see Mueller State Park signs on your right hand side. (The Crags are left and just a little bit further down.This is also a great place to add to your list) Entrance fees for all state parks are $7-9 per car for a day pass.
The park’s winter trail system offers sno
wshoers and cross-country skiers diverse routes that span from gradual one-mile loops to steeper seven-mile treks. It’s a winter sports playground with sledding, tubing, skiing and snowboarding easily accessible on three designated hills. There are also a few hillsides that are used to sled.
In the summertime the park offers wildlife watching. Elk, black bear, hawks, mule deer and others thrive here. The campground is usually completely reserved way ahead of time, however, there are occasional no-shows. They have sites for tents, campers and cottages. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed.
Cheyenne Mountain State Park
If you’d like to stay in Colorado Springs there are many regional parks, but there is also wonderful Cheyenne Mountain State Park. It’s located right outside the main gate of Ft. Carson, off of Hwy 115. If you live on the south side of town, this is a great, nearby park for your adventures.
20 miles of open trails at various elevations and with changing vegetation. Beautiful forests mixed with prairie grasses. Trails are not paved, dirt or gravel, but the ones up and to the north will have boulders on the paths.
There is plenty of wildlife in the park. Now, in the wintertime, bears are hibernating, but mountain lions might be prowling to find some sparse foods (ie. maybe some deer).
All campsites are closed during the winter season.
